Donaldson contract negotiations a balancing act for Blue Jays DUNEDIN, Fla. – At surface level, the comments made by Josh Donaldson and Ross Atkins are incongruous. On Thursday Donaldson said he expects to hit free agency after the 2018 season. On Friday, Atkins said “We feel good about the potential of him being here long-term.” So who should we believe if Donaldson says he ‘turning the page' and Atkins says he's optimistic? Ultimately, although Donaldson and Atkins stressed different points in their respective media availabilities, they were aligned on most key details with no appearance of awkwardness or animosity. Whether that leads to an extension is another question altogether.…
